I have a question regarding the Z9 Mini - not sure if this is the right thread but it's the closest I could find.

I'm planning on running 3 Z9 mini's off of a standard 1600w bitmain apw++ power supply running off of a 240v circuit. I plan to overclock all 3 to 750m (consumes about 400-450w each so well within the apw++ limits).

My question is this:

The apw++ has 10 pcie connectors. I need 12 to run 3 z9 mini's. I'm planning on connecting 9 of them directly to the hashing boards of the 3 units and using 2 splitters to split the power of the last pcie connector into 3 - for the 3 control boards.

Splitter I'm planning to use (for reference):
https://www.amazon.ca/StarTech-com-PCIEXSPLIT6-6-Inch-Express-Splitter/dp/B004NNTVT6/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1535493571&sr=8-14&keywords=pcie+splitter

This is assuming that the control boards dont take up much power compared to the actual hash boards. Given that, I'm thinking it would be OK to run three control boards off the same pcie connector.

Am I correct in this assumption? Is it safe to do what I am planning to?

Any input much appreciated. Thanks.
